cool cool. thanks for the help guys.
i agree about the text. i will be changing the rollover color but i'm a little stuck with the colors for the rest of the site. the client has been established for a few years and the red and black are part of his image so i can't change it too much. perhaps i'll use lighter/bigger text to make it easier on the eyes.

Not sure about the cache settings you're after but as I'm using ZoneAlarm I can tell you that re-rolling over the links didn't cause any repeated downloading.

as far as the caching is concerned. i was having trouble with IE downloading the over images every time i rolled over a link and NS wasn't. i thought that it was a compatibility issue but it looks like it was an IE cache setting. i had it set so that it checks for a new version of a page every time but set it not to so IE doesn't try to download the over image every time.
